Investigators believe two deaths reported Sunday resulted from heroin overdoses, according to a news release from the Wilmington Police Department.

WPD spokeswoman Lucy Crockett said police are investigating the deaths and toxicology results are not yet available.

Crockett said in one case a heroin packet found at the scene of the death was stamped with the word "Speed," and with a picture of a toy car. Packets found at the other death scene were stamped with the words "Let's Go," she said.

Anyone who has information or comes in contact with either of these labels is asked to call the Wilmington Police Department's main number at 343-3600. Information also may be submitted anonymously through Text-A-Tip. Enter Tip708 and the information, and send to CRIMES (274637).
